Title: The Healing Power of Laughter
Post by alien2 on Jul 22nd, 2012, 10:13am
1. Lindy is a hypersensitive, fragile woman, who despises violence of any kind. She easily breaks down and cries, even if she gets hurt just a bit and unintentionally.

She is walking down the street, when someone, whom she had never seen before, punches her hard in the stomach. Lindy responds by smiling happily. Can you explain it?

2. Timothy often calls his mother, but under no circumstances does he approve when someone else says that he is attached to her.

He is sitting in a bar with three of his colleagues, all sipping non-alcoholic drinks and engaging in a casual conversation. One of them says about him: "Timothy is very attached to his mummy." Timothy doesn't get upset at all. In fact, he laughs. What happened?

Tim might [hide]own some kind of stuffed animal, which his friend calls a "mummy"[/hide].

For Lindy, that sound some kind of [hide]Heimlich maneuver-type scenario[/hide], but I can't figure out why.

so confused why she would get punched....... Oh wait did she get pregnant and get punched by the baby in her womb?

Tim, I am totally lost, maybe he works in a museum and has an actual mummy! ???

Because the collegue is talking about his son (or another) Timothy.

Though I think LSD has had alot to do with it!

Yes! [hide]Timothy and his colleagues are archaeologists.[/hide]

3. Timothy got married to Samantha. They live in his apartment. He's still dependent on his mother, but under no circumstances does he approve when someone says that he is mama's boy.  
 
He's in his living room with Truman. When Truman says about him: "Timothy is mama's boy", he is surprised and he bursts out laughing. Why?  

::)

[hide]Truman is a parrot.[/hide]

As for no. 2: [hide]Timothy is on a night out with some friend which is themed as a fancy dress / three legged night. Having been paired with a mummy-dressed friend, and this being their final destination (hence switching to soft drinks to vaguely cope with work/lectures in the morning) he is drunk enough to find this highly amusing.[/hide]

4. Anthony and his wife are in topnotch health. He's a bookworm, and under no circumstances does he approve when someone stares at him while he's reading a book, especially his wife. The married couple is in their living room, sitting on armchairs which are fronting each other. He's reading a book and is aware that his wife is looking straight at him. Anthony doesn't get upset. In fact, he smiles. Why?

Post by dudiobugtron on Aug 5th, 2014, 2:22pm
Anthony's [hide]wife is dead, and has been stuffed.  Or, it's a photo of her in a frame sitting on the armchair.[/hide]

Or,
[hide]Anthony's wife is blind.[/hide]

She's blind? That's the best I've got, and this is a great thread man (:
Title: Re: The Healing Power of Laughter
Post by alien2 on Aug 5th, 2014, 5:27pm
She isn't blind regarding the intended answer.

Thanks for the praise JaneBD.
Title: Re: The Healing Power of Laughter
Post by dudiobugtron on Aug 5th, 2014, 5:49pm
Because [hide]his smile shows his disapproval?[/hide]

Or perhaps [hide]he is a masochist, and enjoys people doing things that he disapproves of.[/hide]

Also, I know his wife is not blind, but perhaps [hide]she was, and the fact that she is staring at him mans she has miraculously regained her sight.  Even though he disapproves of the staring, overall he is happy because his wife's sight has returned.[/hide]

No intended answer yet.

[hide]The married couple is not Anthony and his wife, but some other couple. Anthony is the third person in the room[/hide]

Nope.

[hide]She was suffering from Lagopthalmos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagophthalmos)[/hide]
Title: Re: The Healing Power of Laughter
Post by alien2 on Aug 6th, 2014, 8:56am
That's right. She was [hide]sleeping with her eyes open.  [/hide]
